Liverpool lead Norwich 2-0 at half time thanks to a brace from Luis Suarez.

Liverpool go into the half-time break at Carrow Road with a 2-0 lead over hosts Norwich City thanks to a brace from Luis Suarez.

The match started slowly but was brought to life in the 23rd minute when the Reds opened the scoring.

Steven Gerrard dispossessed David Fox in midfield before slipping the ball through to Suarez, who fired his shot across John Ruddy and inside the far post.

The goal seemed to galvanize the visitors as Suarez and Gerrard linked up once again soon after, this time the Uruguayan acting as the provider, but Gerrard's fierce shot was deflected wide.

Liverpool's lead was doubled minutes later, however, as Suarez stole the ball from Elliott Ward before driving forward and firing his shot past Ruddy to claim his first Premier League brace for the Reds and send them in 2-0 ahead.

As it stands, the result would mean that Liverpool move back to within two points of local rivals Everton in the table following their 4-0 win over Fulham earlier today, while Norwich would remain 13th.
